Second Annual ASN Hill Day

On Thursday, April 26, 2012, ASN leaders met with more than 50 Congressional offices, including more than a half-dozen meetings with Senators and Representatives themselves. The second annual ASN Hill Day provided ASN leaders an opportunity to directly meet with lawmakers and House and Senate staff about issues of importance to ASN and the kidney care community, including NIH and NIDDK research funding, health disparities, immunosuppressive drug coverage, and changes related to the Medicare ESRD program and the practice of nephrology.
